pft.  thank you, drive through.

hard to tell :(.  seems to me, Yes.  There is this rumor:

 http://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/freenas/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3966&start=0

then there is an ``interview'' with someone claiming to be from
``iXsystems'' company post-fork which very suspiciously does not
mention CoreNAS, OpenMediaVault, or FreeNAS 0.8.  No mention at all is
highly suspicious and makes me think the interviewee is not in control
of the project, just trying to make money by sitting on top of its
name, but still there is a maintenance release of freenas more recent
than the rumor.

Sounds like maybe some of the old developers tried to hijack all the
users onto CoreNAS, but new developers/opportunists filled the gap.
can't really tell, though.  Be careful it doesn't become sort of like
OpenSIPS OpenSER Kamailio where if you ask for the wrong name you will
get an ancient version of the code predating the fork.  also there
could some day be two FreeNAS's fighting over the name and the version
numbers.  seems like the CoreNAS guy is trying to hedge his bets with
these three different names for his unreleased build.  next step, if I
cared, is to look into which one has a working svn/git server with
tags matching their iso's.

btrfs vs ZFS in NAS LiveCD form will get interesting!  I wish someone
would make an openwrt-based version so I could run the same code on
Marvell Orion or on LiveCD.
